For my card I used this cute image from The Paper Nest Dolls named Ellie With Heart Locket.
The lattice trellis up the side is a punch by Martha Stewart. The word "love" is a die by Memory Box. The heart charm at the top is by Craft Fantastic where you put your own picture/photo and glue it in the middle of the metal base and then glue the clear acrylic over the top of it. So what I did was use a piece of my printed paper for a perfect match! My paper is by American Crafts. My sentiment and the key are covered with Glossy Accents. First I tried embossing powder, but didn't like how it came out and it warped the paper since I wanted it completely covered. I ended up with the Glossy Accents and am really happy with the results. I colored my image with Copics and added Glossy Accents to her boots and Clear Wink of Stella all over her lock. I added a touch of glitter to her dress and accents on her. The layout of this card comes from a card I received from a good friend of mine, Patty Sue. Thanks, Patty Sue, for sending me that card and inspiring me to expand past my 6x6 square cards!
